RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to continue the process of reimbursement to those employers participating in the CCWORKS (Contra Costa Works) Subsidized Employment Program whereby the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) will enter into agreements with employers to permit reimbursement between $10.50-$20 per hour for those CalWORKs clients sited with employers during the period July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The CalWORKs participant wage reimbursements are funded with $857,533 CalWORKs Single Allocation. (85% Federal, 15% State) CFDA #93.558
BACKGROUND:
Based upon the success of the subsidized employment programs operated in response to Senate Bill 72 which extended the State reimbursement to counties for subsidized employment programs as authorized by Assembly Bill (AB) 98 (now Assembly Bill 74), the Employment and Human Services Department developed and implemented the subsidized employment program known as CCWORKS (Contra Costa Works).
